How are they excuses? It's not as if he's complaining he's injured or something. Imagine all the interviews he's done leading up to this fight, and how many cameras/microphones he's had shoved in his face. And the thing about Hatton is he generally talks to members of the media as if they are just everyday people, and if a reporter were to ask him if he misses England I can well imagine that would be the kind of response he would give. He's no Mayweather Jnr. - I don't think I've ever heard him talk shit on camera, he generally says what he means. This is one of the reasons so many people like him in Britain - apart from being a World Champion, and therefore a symbol of British pride, he is also genuinely a nice bloke, a family man who is down to earth, still lives in the same area he grew up in, goes to the same pub, etc. It is just the Sun trying to sell papers, tbh, nothing more, nothing less. I've never heard Hatton making excuses, even at times when personally I thought he had a right to.
and it's not like the whole bit they did on 24/7 with Manny being all googely eyed while taking his wife to the airport, i already thought that they were gonna be focusing just on that shit for the entire episode
